Where the compass is spinning around software

I’ve been using different volume types for storage in my kubernetes-on-arm
cluster. I wrote two posts about it: GlusterFS On Kubernetes ARM and Storage for your cluster a year ago. All solutions adds complexity
to the cluster, the one that’s been easiest to handle is nfs. But nfs isn’t transparent enough. I always seems to end up in strange corner cases where it’s
not working as expected. The emptyDir volume type let’s you mount an empty
directory from the host in to your Pod. But when the Pod goes away, so does your
volume, leaving you with nothing.

This is the final part in a series about setting up Kubernetes on Scaleway.
This final part is about setting up storage for your cluster.
Most of the steps here is already described in an earlier post:
GlusterFS On Kubernetes ARM
that I wrote a couple of month back. You can also find the earlier posts in this
